SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Hannah Hidalgo scored 24 points and No. 3 Notre Dame handed Stanford the worst defeat of its storied women’s basketball program as the Fighting Irish rolled to a 96-47 victory Thursday night.

Notre Dame’s 49-point romp topped the 45-point victory in 1983 (96-51) by Long Beach State that had been Stanford’s worst loss until Thursday’s debacle in South Bend.

Stanford’s Nunu Agara, a 6-foot-2 sophomore forward who averages 17.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game, left the game in the first quarter with an injury. She only played five minutes and did not score.

Olivia Miles scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Notre Dame (20-2, 11-0 ACC).

Cassandre Prosper and Maddy Westbeld scored 13 points each for Notre Dame.
